U.S stocks continued their downward movement on Thursday following the latest rate hike from the Federal Reserve. All three major U.S. indices momentarily rose in the previous trading session after investors misinterpreted the Fed’s statement regarding future hikes.

However, the stocks reversed their gains later in the day after Fed Chair Jerome Powell cleared that it is very early to decide on any rate cut. In fact, Powell hinted the Fed would likely go for a higher rate hike than previously anticipated.

Meanwhile, the third-quarter earnings season continued, with Nutrien Ltd. (NYSE:NTR), Lincoln National Corporation (NYSE:LNC) and Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (NASDAQ:CTSH), among the notable stocks, posting their results.

If we look at their price actions, shares of Nutrien Ltd. (NYSE:NTR), Lincoln National Corporation (NYSE:LNC) and Cognizant Technology Solutions Corporation (NASDAQ:CTSH) dropped sharply this morning after their recent earnings.

Meanwhile, analysts also lowered their ratings for these stocks following their quarterly reports. Check out the remaining article if you want to see some more companies receiving ratings-cut from analysts.

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 18

Mizuho lowered its ratings for Avista Corporation (NYSE:AVA) from “Buy” to “Neutral” on Wednesday, November 2. Analyst Anthony Crowdell thinks the energy company can’t do much to minimize the negative effects of inflation and interest rates in the coming years.

Crowdell added that interest rates could significantly impact the company’s profitability. He also trimmed his price target for Avista Corporation (NYSE:AVA) from $44 per share to $40 per share.

The downgrade came a day after Avista Corporation (NYSE:AVA) reduced its profit outlook for 2022 and 2023, citing elevated interest rates and operating costs.

8. Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 24

Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS) recently plunged to a new 52-week low after missing financial expectations for the third quarter and trimming its sales outlook for the full year. The weak performance compelled many analysts to downgrade the software firm.

For instance, Craig-Hallum analyst Chad Bennett on Tuesday lowered his ratings for Varonis Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:VRNS) from “Buy” to “Hold,” citing disappointing Q3 results and macro challenges. Bennett also cut his price target for the stock from $35 per share to $22 per share.

7. Qorvo, Inc. (NASDAQ:QRVO)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 30

Shares of Qorvo, Inc. (NASDAQ:QRVO) fell after the opening bell on Thursday, November 3. The drop came after JPMorgan turned bearish on the semiconductor stock following its second-quarter results.

JPMorgan analyst Harlan Sur lowered his ratings for Qorvo, Inc. (NASDAQ:QRVO) from “Overweight” to “Underweight” and reduced his price target from $125 per share to $90 per share.

The analyst pointed towards global macro challenges and excess inventories that could hurt the company’s profitability and sales growth. The downgrade came a day after Qorvo, Inc. (NASDAQ:QRVO) warned about weakness across its end markets.

6. Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU)

Number of Hedge Fund Holders: 34

Guggenheim slashed its ratings for Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU) from “Buy” to “Neutral” on Thursday, November 3, 2022. The research firm was primarily moved by the company’s lower-than-expected sales guidance for Q4.

Roku, Inc. (NASDAQ:ROKU) recently projected revenue of around $800 million for the current quarter, well below analysts’ average estimate of $895.5 million. Roku stock hit a new 52-week low of $44.59 on Thursday following the weak forecast.

The $250 Trillion AI Hype is Real. A few years from now, you’ll probably wish you’d bought this stock.

Published on November 14, 2025 at by Inan Dogan, PhD

When Jeff Bezos said that one breakthrough technology would shape Amazon’s destiny, even Wall Street’s biggest analysts were caught off guard.

Fast forward a year and Amazon’s new CEO Andy Jassy described generative AI as a “once-in-a-lifetime” technology that is already being used across Amazon to reinvent customer experiences.

At the 8th Future Investment Initiative conference, Elon Musk predicted that by 2040 there would be at least 10 billion humanoid robots, with each priced between $20,000 and $25,000.

Do the math. According to Musk, this technology could be worth $250 trillion by 2040.

Put another way, that’s roughly equal to:

175 Teslas
107 Amazons
140 Metas
84 Googles
65 Microsofts
And 55 Nvidias

And here’s the wild part — this $250 trillion wave isn’t tied to one company, but to an entire ecosystem of AI innovators set to reshape the global economy.

It’s a leap so massive, it could reshape how businesses, governments, and consumers operate worldwide.

Even if that $250 trillion figure sounds ambitious, major firms like PwC and McKinsey still see AI unlocking multi-trillion-dollar potential.

How could anything be worth that much?

The answer lies in a breakthrough so powerful it’s redefining how humanity works, learns, and creates.

And this breakthrough has already set off a frenzy among hedge funds and Wall Street’s top investors.

What most investors don’t realize is that one under-owned company holds the key to this $250 trillion revolution.

In fact, Verge argues this company’s supercheap AI technology should concern rivals.

Before I reveal the details, let’s talk about how some of the richest people on the planet are positioning themselves.

Bill Gates sees artificial intelligence as the “biggest technological advance in my lifetime,” more transformative than the internet or personal computer, capable of improving healthcare, education, and addressing climate change.
Larry Ellison — through Oracle, is spending billions on Nvidia chips and partnering with Cohere to embed generative AI across Oracle’s cloud and apps.
Warren Buffett — not known for tech hype — says this breakthrough could have a ‘hugely beneficial social impact.

When billionaires from Silicon Valley to Wall Street line up behind the same idea — you know it’s worth paying attention to.

Even as we admire what Tesla, Nvidia, Alphabet, and Microsoft have built, we believe an even greater opportunity lies elsewhere…

But the real story isn’t Nvidia — it’s a much smaller company quietly improving the critical technology that makes this entire revolution possible.

And judging by what I’m hearing from both Silicon Valley insiders and Wall Street veterans…

This prediction might not be bold at all:
